Is it possible to have a bit of code print out the reply count in a thread?

I am going to use a bit of js and css to hide the indented discussion replies (as they are getting quite long and hard to follow) and I would like to add the count (hide/display) link beside the "Reply" link (as an example 8 is representing the count I would like the code to generate):

Reply || View/Hide Replies: 8

Thanks!

It depends which template and module you are doing this in - try putting debug in your template to see what's available.

It will probably be something like {$item.discuss_comment_count}

The smarty variable will be {$item.discuss_comment_count}
Add in a default modifier in case of no comments yet (in which case the variable may not be created - {$item.discuss_comment_count|default:0}

I think I found a problem. I have an active discussion board with 37 replies in it. The screenshot shows a replies count of - 75. the url is /group_discuss/group_id=XX --- it is the page that lists the discussions available. I am not sure of the tpl file.

{$item.user_jrAction_item_count} => "37" shows the correct item count (but this might be coincidental)

Back to my original question... I am looking for the count of replies per comment
{$item.discuss_comment_count} does not exist in the item_list.tpl when I do a {debug}

does this mean it is impossible?

What template are you putting the {debug} in, and where? Remember that this is a group discussion listing variable so if you are looking at the jrGroup item_detail template there is another jrCore_list call for discussions so the {debug} needs to go in that template code. In the default group item_detail template that would be on line 71
